Do The Buccaneers Have A Pro Bowler?
December 20th, 2022This season’s Pro Bowl roster announcement comes tomorrow.
Will a Buccaneer be named? It saddens Joe that it’s a fair question.
Fan voting represents one-third of the vote to get a Pro Bowl honor. The other thirds come from players and coaches casting their ballots.
Kicker Ryan Succop was off to a great start, but he’s fallen off in recent weeks and his long-range deficiencies will keep him out of the Pro Bowl.
On defense, Vita Vea’s 6 1/2 sacks are a huge number for a defensive tackle. So that might be enough to get Vea in, along with his reputation around the league. Sadly, that’s likely it on defense.
Devin White was a Pro Bowl alternate last season, along with Antoine Winfield and Mike Evans, and they all got to the game in Las Vegas thanks to other players backing out.
Evans and Winfield are unlikely to be named alternates this season. White might be.
On the sad Bucs offense, the only likely Pro Bowler is right tackle Tristan Wirfs. Nobody else is worthy.
So Joe’s official guess is Wirfs and Vea are Pro Bowlers, and maybe the Bucs squeak in an alternate. That’s what happens when you’re 6-8 and few starters have improved.

Maybe Jake, our punter.

Hard to name 1 starter that has been pro-bowl worthy, and available, all year. Wirfs, perhaps, but it’s hard to get votes after missing games. Besides, voting for pro-bowl is really a popularity contest.

I wonder how many of the goobers voted for Trask.
December 20th, 2022 at 12:00 pm
Joe I think we need a head coach that can bring out the best in players and if not ship them out. I truly believe Bowles and Lefty are not right to steer this team.
December 20th, 2022 at 12:00 pm
Wirfs would’ve been one if not for his injury.
The Punter has been good all year long too
….that’s about it Joe
December 20th, 2022 at 12:02 pm
……and HELLS NO to Devin White……his play has been spotty to bad this year.
I dunno why his play has fell off so bad this year???
probably the same thing that’s happening to the whole team — Bad Coaching and Lack of Motivation.

I doubt even brady could hit a strike,,,,,,,,and you think we have bowlers?
December 20th, 2022 at 12:17 pm
I heard Donovan Smith bowled a 240 once…..does that make him a “Pro” Bowler?
December 20th, 2022 at 12:21 pm
Dont understand all the fuss about the Probowl. Used to mean something like 15 years ago, its only a popularity contest now. Its not like the voters are watching all the games, i mean some national media members dont watch all the games if you listen to what they re saying.
Only Wirfs and Winfield have played at a high level constantly but Winfield is hurt a lot this year. Dean has played good too.
But if you watch all the games from all the teams ( I do actually for the most part, with the small exceptions) I believe only Wirfsis playing at top 3 or top 4 in his position
December 20th, 2022 at 12:22 pm
Don’t care.
December 20th, 2022 at 12:29 pm
The only question that matters is “Do the Buccaneers have a Super Bowl in February?”
December 20th, 2022 at 12:38 pm
Pro Bowl is boring. I have never even watched it.
December 20th, 2022 at 12:42 pm
Doesn’t matter, but no I don’t see a clear cut pro bowler on the roster.
December 20th, 2022 at 12:46 pm
No pro bowls we’re all anti bowles
December 20th, 2022 at 12:53 pm
JOE, you said this was a quality roster….where?
LOL
December 20th, 2022 at 1:00 pm
Our kicker hasn’t been bad.
December 20th, 2022 at 1:01 pm
The only bowl I care about is Super…Unless you are talking about Toilet Bowles
December 20th, 2022 at 1:01 pm
Back to irrelevance.
December 20th, 2022 at 1:02 pm
Anomaly. We don’t all know players can’t be good if they’re put in position to fail? Same guys who made the pro bowl last two seasons are now laughable. You do the math
December 20th, 2022 at 1:06 pm
Damn sure its not Donovan Smith.
.
December 20th, 2022 at 1:10 pm
Camarda
December 20th, 2022 at 1:13 pm
It’s kinda out of sight out of mind when it comes to injuries for the probowl. Hope for Tristan but no one else on offense deserves a spot Winfield is the one bright spot of this team Vea has had a decent season but not probowl level
December 20th, 2022 at 1:16 pm
LOL!!! Who cares! Pro Bowls don’t mean squat anymore and nobody likes to watch flag football.
December 20th, 2022 at 1:22 pm
LOL
December 20th, 2022 at 1:38 pm
The only Pro Bowl player on this team is Tristan Wirfs.
December 20th, 2022 at 1:42 pm
Then how do you know it’s boring? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
December 20th, 2022 at 1:48 pm
Punter and nobody else
December 20th, 2022 at 2:08 pm
The P Bowl is a popularity contest. Perfect medium for the Me generation of athletes. I’m sure D White will be mad if he doesn’t make it. There’s a reason most vets opt out of this. All Pro is what players should strive for but what do I know.

December 20th, 2022 at 3:22 pm
Truly – who gives a sh$t.
December 20th, 2022 at 3:25 pm
Camarda then Wirfs, vea, as alternates.
December 20th, 2022 at 3:42 pm
NEfan. You would only pick players that come from New England lol 🤣. Why don’t you just get off this site and go back to a New England fan site. You suck as a Patriot fan lol 😂😂.
December 20th, 2022 at 4:30 pm
Nope
December 20th, 2022 at 4:31 pm
Oh, just a hunch the guys who have a Pro Bowl bonus in their contracts?
Bucs fans who will be in Vegas in February.
December 20th, 2022 at 4:45 pm
Doubtful
December 20th, 2022 at 5:32 pm
Oneilsuckyall, he’s a Buc!!! He hasn’t given up a sack and does his job. How many times have you heard bi#ching about him. Maybe Carmurda, I am not sure what other punters are doing. Instead of shatting on me how about you answer the question? Jamais I off the table, he doesn’t play he is 3rd string like Trask.
December 20th, 2022 at 5:32 pm
NOPE.
December 20th, 2022 at 6:52 pm
@ Pan Handle
I agree. Our Punter is the highlight of this team…
Wow – that is pathetic.
December 20th, 2022 at 6:59 pm
slow news day at JBF….maybe the punter, whoever he is
December 20th, 2022 at 7:24 pm
Thier names are jamel dean and antoine winfield jr…we all know this!
December 20th, 2022 at 9:01 pm
not voting for any of this bunch
December 20th, 2022 at 11:24 pm
Good bye, Diva White. Pay LVD to stay, and get someone that just wants to play football instead of all the headlines. Sick of the overhyped, overrated, underachieving, all talk and no action Diva White. A good playoff run, that was awesome. Too bad it went to his bloated head.
December 21st, 2022 at 1:16 am
I can see maybe Wirfs and Vita like Joe said, but even that’s a stretch as lousy as we’ve played.
December 21st, 2022 at 10:39 am
Pro Toilet Bowles we have
